I am in the process of reading The Prophecy of the Stones, and let me tell you, this girl can write! The book is one of the best I have ever read, and Flavia Bujor, was only THIRTEEN when she wrote it (now she is fifteen).
Flavia Bujor, you ROCK GURL!

A TEENAGE girl from America who wrote her own version of the latest Harry Potter book has made a pilgrimage to Edinburgh. Natalie Jacobsen, 15, appeared on national television in the US after she spent a year writing her own 804-page take on the sixth installment of the popular series.
The youngster from Cornelius in Oregon made her first trip to Scotland this week to visit the hometown of Harry Potter's creator, JK Rowling. She is hoping to show the author her own version of the book.
The penultimate novel on the teenage wizard, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, hits bookshelves two weeks from today. Natalie has read the previous five books 51 times, and insists she is "JK Rowling's biggest fan". "I really love the books and I want to be an author when I'm older," she said. "I went to the London premiere of the last Harry Potter film to try to meet JK Rowling, but it didn't happen. So now I've come to Edinburgh and I really want to show her my book." Natalie has had the novel specially bound, but is not selling it. In her version of the sixth book, evil Professor Snape is the mysterious Half-Blood Prince
- I want everyones' opinions on this...I think that this girl is a bit of a wannabe...I mean come on, who takes ideas, characters, and basically everything from another book, and uses it to create a book that they would claim their own.....it doesn't take much imagination or work to use what somebody else has already created, and tweak it in little ways. What Natalie J. did could be counted as plageurism too....
